Welcome back and happy new year! We're officially starting Set #3, which I expect to run for months and months on a weekly basis. Next feature will be towards the end of next week, with a song from an album we haven't looked at yet...


08/31/23 SOTW: "Sonic Death" (small update 09/30/23)

Welcome back and thank you for your patience! Unfortunately this is not the start of the next set, it is a one-off addendum to a very long article about the band's 1981-1983 era that I posted last month. Check that out over here, and then check out this 8-song collection, which will hopefully tide you over until I do start posting weekly again. If you're starving for Sonic content, go check out the new Timeline/Sessionography feature at the Concert Chronology too! I'll see you back here soon...


02/22/23 SOTW: "Master=Dik"

Here's the "encore" piece - I missed my Valentine's target (you'll see) but the anniversary of the first article in this series is a worthy date too. Set #3 will start in May/June...stay tuned!


12/22/22

Hi everybody! We've reached the end of the second set, aside from a small encore piece that will pop up sometime in the next month or so. When I made the fairly random decision to start this series back in February, I didn't have a lot of faith in my ability to maintain it on a weekly basis, but looking back I'm proud of how many songs I was able to cover (51, with a 52nd coming - technically one a week for the whole year!). I definitely sabotaged myself by expanding into double and triple features, which I'll try to learn from next year. I want to thank those of you who contacted me to say you're enjoying the articles, it means a lot to know that somebody is reading. I put a lot of time and effort into these on a weekly basis and I always appreciate hearing feedback.

A huge thanks to Raj Paden, who has been flooding me with tabs for the last six months, some of which I've been able to incorporate into my weekly plans, some of which I am just going to freely drop on you now:

  • FLOWER (both guitars, live variations + bass)
  • COME AND SMASH ME SAID THE BOY WITH THE MAGIC PENIS (both guitars, previously unavailable)
  • GREEN LIGHT (lee's part, previously unavailable)
  • STEREO SANCTITY (both guitars, live variations + bass)
  • COTTON CROWN (both guitars, live variations)
  • TEENAGE RIOT (both guitars)
  • STARFIELD ROAD (both guitars + bass)
  • UNWIND (lee's part, previously unavailable)
  • BLONDE REDHEAD (both guitars + bass, previously unavailable)
  • THE EMPTY PAGE (lee's part, previously unavailable)
  • PEACE ATTACK (all guitars)
  • ALIGHTED (CHELSEA LIGHT MOVING) (all guitars)
  • GERMS BURN (THURSTON MOORE) (all guitars)

    I still have a lot of ideas for the next set. There are a number of songs I was sure I'd already have gotten to, but I keep changing plans when inspiration strikes. As a statistics nerd, it's curious to see where my representation has focused so far:

    SONIC YOUTH: 1
    CONFUSION IS SEX: 0
    BAD MOON RISING: 1
    EVOL: 1
    SISTER: 6
    DAYDREAM NATION: 7
    GOO: 4
    DIRTY: 4 (w/ "Stalker")
    EX JET SET: 7
    WASHING MACHINE: 6
    THOUSAND LEAVES: 1
    NYC GHOSTS: 4
    MURRAY ST: 1
    SONIC NURSE: 0
    RATHER RIPPED: 0
    THE ETERNAL: 0
    OTHER: 8

    I may appear to be playing favorites, but I haven't focused much on the later material mostly due to the existing three- or four-part tabs that are already very detailed and don't need my meddling. I lean towards songs that haven't been transcribed or are missing at least one part, plus I like to have an interesting angle to approach the text or some kind of ephemera. I have some Nurse picks lined up, we'll see what else inspires me...

    Thank you again to everybody who's written to comment on the page. It's bizarre to think I started this site 25 years ago and still enjoy creating content, but it's the most satisfying when I do get to engage with people who find the content interesting. So please, reach out if you'd like, and stay tuned for more next year! xx Chris

    02/22/22

    Hi everybody! 2022 marks the 25th anniversary of this site, and what better way to celebrate a resource with five updates in the past decade than introducing a brand new weekly commitment...

    THE SONG OF THE WEEK!

    Each week we will break down one song and slowly fill in some of the gaps that have been bugging me for the last 25 years or so...

    I'm going to try to amuse myself by choosing the next song based on a tuning used in the previous song, and also try to offer some kind of back story and secondary media accompaniment where possible. I've chosen some horribly gorgeous colour codes to help punch up the tablature, but if you prefer a straight txt rendition that will be provided too.

    So, let's see how long I can keep this up! We will start with a song getting recast in the spotlight with its inclusion on next month's IN/OUT/IN compilation (via Three Lobed Recordings), a fun skronky instrumental from The Eternal days called "MACHINE". See you next week! xx Chris


    UPDATE: MAY 31st, 2020 -- Welcome! This will be the last of my May updates (it is the last day, after all!) but I have a big SY project coming within the next few months - a few other non-SY things have to fall into place first, but I'm relatively optimistic. If you want to know when it goes live, keep checking the front page of SCREAMING FIELDS OF SONIC LOVE or if you're like me and get most of your band news from Facebook, come join Screaming Fields of Sonic Love, a page I started 8 years ago and have not used once.

    Anyway! New tabs! It's funny to go through this site and still see tabs from 1997, the year I started it. There seemed to be a real sweet spot in '97/98 and another in 2002 where some great folks were figuring out these great songs and inspiring me to do great work by sharing them online. I really would love to overhaul or at least continue to update this site - I'm pleased with the quality of much of the content, but I'll admit that some of my own teenage tabs are pretty weak. I have a batch of new ones to offer, but even now I'm not going to praise my efforts too much - I'll save that for the handful of people who actually e-mailed me tabs over the past few years! They're all so nice and properly typed up and measured out and user friendly, while mine are still vague and blunt as always. So please, if you want to work some tunes out and send them in, I'm totally interested!

    Speaking of quality tablature...if you haven't checked out the Gear Guide in a while, I've been documenting tons of guitar magazines that feature some kind of Sonic Youth content. Very, very few of them contain any attempt at tablature, but I picked out three that I wanted to share here. None actually transcribe a complete song (I've still never seen a full SY song in any guitar magazine, ever) but there's lots of interesting stuff to read and it's just so cool to see actual SY tunes tabbed out "properly". I cut the text out of the Japanese mag tabs, but they really put a lot of focus on different elements of the band's sound - riffs, solo, improv, structure, etc. These scans are taken from Guitar Player February 1989, Guitar Player August 1991, and Guitar (Japan) September 1992. Enjoy!

    (On another note, I don't expect to update the Gear Guide for a while, so I've secretly added one more item since last week's update - an Italian magazine from January 1996 called Chitarre.)

    I get a considerable amount of e-mails from people asking me about gauges for restringing to use SY tunings. While there's a lot of info on the gauges and tunings in the aforementioned Gear Guide, it's spread out amongst each guitar and not easily referenced, so I made a chart that you can look at to get a general idea of what gauge string Thurston or Lee use for which notes, and the differences between them.

    Alright, here are some new tabs. I want to thank Cody Knoefel, Lee Moore, Laurie Hulme, Felipe Errandonea Althausen, and Cedric Maury for their submissions. Please feel free to send more tabs, or corrections for ones already posted. Most of these are mine, please note I often won't indicate how many times to play a note or when to change chords, unless it's a "riff" that needs more obvious spacing. Otherwise I tend to overthink, overtype, overexplain...

    Some of these are brand new, some are parts that weren't there before, some are corrections to existing tabs, some gave all.

  • KAT N HAT (both guitars + bass)
  • SHADOW OF A DOUBT (both guitars)
  • STEREO SANCTITY (both guitars)
  • KOTTON KROWN (both guitars)
  • THE SPRAWL (thurston)
  • ERIC'S TRIP (both guitars)
  • HEY JONI (both guitars)
  • RAIN KING (both guitars)
  • MOTE (both guitars)
  • UNWIND (thurston)
  • LITTLE TROUBLE GIRL (bass)
  • HOARFROST (lee)
  • MOIST VAGINA (all guitars)
  • KARENOLOGY (all guitars + bass)
  • UNMADE BED (bass)
  • MARIAH CAREY AND THE ARTHUR DOYLE HAND CREAM (all guitars + bass)
  • STONES (bass)
  • PAPER CUP EXIT (all guitars + bass)
  • I LOVE YOU GOLDEN BLUE (thurston + jim + bass)
  • PEACE ATTACK (bass)

    Fillin' in some Thurston solo holes:

  • TREES OUTSIDE THE ACADEMY
  • BENEDICTION
  • CEASE FIRE
  • EXALTED
  • TURN ON

    That's it for now! I'm still twistin' pegs and crackin' riffs though, so it won't be twenty years til the next update...Please write if you have any comments/corrections/additions/time.


    UPDATE: OCTOBER 18th, 2017 -- I've added tabs for Lee's awesome new album ELECTRIC TRIM. They're mostly based on Lee's stripped down solo versions, which you should check out on YouTube!

    If anyone wants to submit tabs for THE BEST DAY or ROCK N ROLL CONSCIOUSNESS, I'd be very happy to have those albums covered. There's lots of great songs, I'm just tired of decoding CGDGCD...!

    Otherwise, you may have noticed I've made some minor cosmetic changes to the site. The page launched in May 1997 (20 years ago!!) and I think this version of the design dates back to about 1999, so I suppose it was time. Don't worry -- it will always look like a website from the 90s, it's just less cluttered now.

    I'm most excited about the new "list by tuning" page, which replaces the previous mess that was the 20-year-old "tuning.txt" file. Check it out and let me know if you have any thoughts...there will be further updates to this site, hopefully with contributions by you!


    UPDATE: APRIL 16th, 2014 -- LAST NIGHT ON EARTH and (most of) CHELSEA LIGHT MOVING. The next update will be pure SONIC YOUTH...
    UPDATE: DECEMBER 8th, 2012 -- I've added a txt file w/ basic tabs of all the songs from Lee's "Between the Times and the Tides" LP. I will eventually add a proper section for them below, but for now they're together in a single txt file. I'm sure it's not perfect, so please send any corrections or additions you may have.


    UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 3rd, 2010 -- Good evening, and hi everybody! I get requests to add tabs once in a while, and for years one of the most common requests has been 'Psychic Hearts', and more recently 'Trees Outside the Academy'. I resisted for years, but boredom and the need to please has a funny way of making things happen, so I'm proud to bring you tabs for the entirety of "Psychic Hearts" and its related tracks, as well as the majority of "Trees Outside the Academy". I was originally planning on providing bass tabs as well as the Mascis solos, but I decided I wasn't that desperate for accolade. With all this attention on Thurston, I felt bad for Lee, so I've updated my outdated tab for his excellent solo acoustic piece "Here" (located under "Other Tabs") with the proper tuning, which also happens to be the tuning for the equally excellent "Lee #2", so I've updated that one too!

    Oh, I've also added complete tabs for every single part on 'The Eternal'. Enjoy!

    SEND ME YOUR TABS!
